Hi Paperino ,
I appreciate your work so much ! I want to ask you a favor , Can you please give me the download link for the fly santa which is not available on your page anymore . Ỉ really need it , Thank you !

I wanted to thank you for your great models. I’m building the rolling circus and have reached the point of building the ramps which are challenging. I’m redoing the curved sections as I ran into issues with getting the curve right. I’ll get it yet. I just downloaded the Flying Santa so I may try that once the circus is done. Thanks again. Merry Christmas! Brian

Hello Paperpino,
I’ve only now discovered to post comments here. First I would like to thank, for creating this unique models. The opportunity for free download is unique. It has me a lot of fun preparing your models to build. After referring to my video on Youtube, interest has skyrocketed. I wish you moreover good ideas.

I first learned of papercraft when I purchased a new Canon printer and was directed to Canon’s Creative Park. I quickly built a wonderful collection of patterns, and when I created the Dancing Santa, my husband’s eyes lit up. He thinks these are the cleverest things he’s ever seen.

so….

I built your circus model. It was quite a challenge, and I’m still trying to tweak the lifters, since it didn’t “quite” come out right. Maybe I’ll try again. I had to print several pages more than once because your instructions are not quite as complete as the patterns I found on Canon’s site, but I finally managed to get it together.

I’m still new to this papercraft hobby, and anxiously await your next beautiful creation.

Just like to say a big thanks for the great effort in making the instructions for the circus. Just finished building it and it works a treat.
Just a couple of things I found for other people making this:
– Rice works well for weighing down the lifters.
– Try adding a ‘Z’ support inside the cam to give it more strength, similar to how the crank or handle is made.
– Don’t use too much glue! Aside from taking ages to dry it weakens and distorts the paper.

Thanks again for the wonderful instructions and keep the creations coming….

about me…

Hello!

My name is Giuseppe Civitarese (aka Pino), from Trieste, Italy. I am an oceanographer, and in my second life I am a card models builder and designer. My passion for paper modelling began in 2000, when I decided to build a paper castle for my little nephew Matteo. Later, Matteo never built any paper model. On the other hand, since then I've never abandoned this hobby. My specific interest is in designing paper automata, and terrestrial and celestial globes from digital replicas of antique maps.
